Fiesta 1.1 Oil Pressure Lamp   
Hi,

I've been driving my 1994 Fiesta 1.1 for a few months now and have a niggle 
with it.

The oil lamp has never come on. Not that I ever want to see it for real! Its 
just that it doesn't come on when the key is in position 2. The battery and 
brake warning lamps are on. I would expect the oil lamp to have a self-test 
and light up too, then switch off when the engine is started?

I checked behind the instruments and swapped bulbs over to see if it had 
blown but this hasn't fixed it.

So - is this lack of an oil lamp self-test normal behaviour on the mk 3 
Fiesta?
